Title

Continuous GPS data for stations deployed on Corbetti and Aluto Volcano, Main Ethiopian Rift, Ethiopia (NERC grant NE/L013932/1)

Abstract

The RiftVolc GPS network was comprised of a total of 10 continuously recording stations deployed on Aluto and Corbetti Volcanoes between 2012 to present. At least 9 stations were recording data simultaneously except in 2012, 2016 and 2017 where 1, 8 and 5 stations were in operation respectively. Full details on station location and operation periods are provided in the attached README file.

Quality and validity

Lineage

The data were collected with Trimble/Leica antennas and recievers and are archived here as a series of 1-day Receiver Independent Exchange format (RINEX) version 2.11 files. These are plain ascii files formatted to contain only the information needed by standard GPS processing software (e.g. GAMIT/Globk) for deriving GPS solutions without the extraneous information stored by the receiver. The rinex files were generated from the raw GPS data using TEQC.
